The school holidays have started and I decided to take a half - day leave to accompany my family to shop at the west side of Singapore. The Jurong area was really bustling recently with the opening of three new shopping centres in recent years - J-Cube, Westgate and JEM. Somehow, I prefered Jem more as it's bigger and have lots of varieties.
It's been a while since we had vietnamese food and moreover, it's not easy to find in JB. So, we decided to dine at So Pho, one of the eateries in JEM, after walking around the three shopping outlet.

| Vegetable roll .. one of the the popular Vietnamese delicacy |
 |
| Fried rolls, which came together as a set of mixed roll which I ordered. My kid loves it. The six rolls cost around S$10.80. |
 |
| I had a Beef Soup with beef slices and balls. The soup was nice , not too salty and filled with beef aroma. Cost S$8.80. |
 |
| Hotspot seafood set - This is for two persons where my wifey shared with her sister. There's a lot of ingredients in the pot - prawns, fish, mushrooms, mussels and etc. It's actually tom yum if I am not wrong as it taste like one. This cost S$14.80. |
 |
| Fried Rice Seafood ... Seems a lot of folks having this. Cost S$8.90 |
 |
| And, not forgetting my favourite Salty Plum Soda a well as a Ice Lemon for my wifey. Cost S$4.50 for the Salty Plum Soda. |
Overall, the food over there was not bad and I think it's affordable. Altogether its S$56 for 5 person.
Have good weekend!
Oooooo...I love Vietnamese rolls. Still have some of the skin in the fridge. My girl doesn't like it though - she's not a fan of the skin...and would rather have popiah. That's why I made some just the other day.
ReplyDeleteSTP - I guess she don't like the ingredients in the rolls but prefer popiah type of stuffs. It's very much like popiah anywhere with all the vegetables and some crunchy stuffs.
Deleteyeah, it's school holidays and i bet you must do something to spend time with your wife and your kids lah.. haha!! albeit just a half-day but i think quality time was spent with your loved ones.. :)
ReplyDeleteSK - I am been busy lately , can't afford to take too many leaves. I'll probably leave it to year end.
Deleteah, this time Vietnamese and not Japanese.. a nice change from the usual huh?? errr, don't go and do the currency conversion lah, i guess S$56 for 5 is cheap for people earning S$ lah.. haha!! you will never get this in RM in Malaysia~~
ReplyDeleteSK - Yeap, go for a change. Furthermore, can't easily find viets eatery here in jb.
Deleteoh, the vietnamese spring rolls look good, i prefer the steam one not the fried ones.. and the hotpot also looks interesting.. but what i like most is the Salty Plum Soda, ah, looks like Margarita only~~ :p
ReplyDeleteSK - same - same , I also love the plum soda. In fact, I dump all the salt onto it.
DeleteSo cheap, can afford to go for more.. Will be meeting you next month, right? :)
ReplyDeleteReana - are you coming over next month?
DeleteSalty plum...looks very interesting, and somehow it is presented in a similar way as margarita, eh?
ReplyDeleteIt is not easy to find Vietnamese food...most of them are cafes with only very limited choices on their menu, and I am looking for those with a wider array of choices from the authentic Vietnamese cuisine :-P
This looks like a good and humble place for a simple fix, and with reasonable prices too!~
I am not into Vietnamese cuisine. But I like that salty plum drink. Very refreshing.
ReplyDeleteYummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over them :-)
I like vietnamese food! esp beef pho and guo cuon, healthy and not oily at all!
ReplyDeleteI am not into Vietnamese food, but it must be very relaxing taking leave eating and shopping with your family
ReplyDeleteChristy - Yeah, it is really a good place for a humble fix for Vietnamese food. I love the drink, didn't know it resemble Margarita. LOL
ReplyDeleteRose - Salty plum is always my favourite!
ReplyDeletelina - The best is drink the salted plum drink after a long run!:)
ReplyDeleteKen - Oh yeah, I only noticed that it's not oily at all.
ReplyDeleteLibby - It's always relaxing to get away from work..haha
ReplyDeleteDrooling at the Vietnamese spring rolls!!
ReplyDeleteLike Vietnamese food but only without beef. Also their signature coffee.
